Satellite communications enable wireless communication in regions where mobile networking may not be possible. Our course will give you an in-depth understanding of the engineering aspects of these important technologies.

With useful links to major satellite manufacturers, operators and service providers, Surrey is the proud home of the world’s largest academic research group specialising in 5G communications.

Our 5G Innovation Centre was founded by major national and international players in the communications industry, including the UK’s leading mobile operators. Here, the focus is on the research and development of mobile communications and wireless technology capable of meeting the needs of the digital economy and the world of tomorrow, and also how satellites will integrate with future 5G technology.

Graduates of this course can be found in most of the world’s main satellite companies and form an active Surrey alumni group. Companies that have employed our graduates include:

• Inmarsat
• SES
• Eutelsat
• Airbus.
